ExLibrisGroup/SpineOMatic

This update addresses several stability and usability issues in the SpineOMatic application. It fixes a bug where scanning barcodes with trailing blanks caused errors, and resolves a System.NullReferenceException. Additionally, it corrects the persistence of the start position settings and fixes an issue with Windows 11 printing. The release also removes deprecated Alma access methods and associated licensing checks, simplifying the user experience by removing the license agreement screen and related server connectivity checks.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The application's assembly metadata has been updated: the company name changed from 'Boston College' to 'ExL', the copyright year from 2012 to 2021, and the version numbers were bumped to 8.1.4.0. Additionally, the project's generated settings and resources files were regenerated, updating the internal tooling versions (e.g., from 4.0.0.0 to 16.0.0.0 for resource builders) and adjusting method signatures in the settings designer code.

My Project · high confidence

The project file has been updated to target .NET Framework v4.8, replacing the previous v2.0 target. Additionally, the build configuration now explicitly sets Prefer32Bit to false and includes a reference to System.Web.Extensions, while also adding an app.config file to the project structure.
